Windows10 compile of WS 3.4.2 fails due to Perl modules

edit

Hi,

I'm having a bit of difficulty compiling 3.4.2 - I've compiled 3.2.x many times without issue.

Build FAILED.

       "c:\Development\wsbuild64\Wireshark.sln" (default target) (1) ->
       "c:\Development\wsbuild64\ALL_BUILD.vcxproj.metaproj" (default target) (3) ->

Both errors relate to "missing" Perl modules:

So it is complaining about this:

Can't locate Pod/Man.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Pod::Man module)

It is definitely there ... C:\apps\actperl\Perl64\lib\Pod

So I added C:\apps\actperl\Perl64\lib\Pod specifically to the PERLLIB environment variable but it still fails.

The other error was similar - it too can be found in C:\apps\actperl\Perl64\lib\Pod:

   111>CustomBuild:

    77>CustomBuild:
